BARNEY RAPP GRANTS
INTERVIEW TO SCRIBE
Orchestra Leader Will Play
At College Dances; Back
To Air In March
by Marjorie Rush
"I'll be with you in a minute,"
came the promise as I stepped into
the offlce of Keith's theater. I had
timidly approached the manager of
the theater a few minutes before,
and requested an interview with
Mr. Barney Rapp. He immediately
introduced me to the object of my
quest. After Mr. Rapp had finished
his telephone conversation, he went
with me into the theater. It was
about twenty minutes until time for
his program, so I hurried the questions as much as possible.
Mr. Rapp is about five feet, nine
inches tall. He has dark, curly
hair, and is very good-looking. His
personality is one of the flrst things
I noticed about him. The old saying "personality personified" certainly fits him. All of my awe and
fears left the moment he started
speaking to me.
He was born in New Haven, Conn.,
and has been leading his present
orchestra for fifteen years. The
"Mercy New Englanders" orchestra
is very famous not only for stage
work, but also for broadcasting over
WLW and the National Broadcasting network. Mr. Rapp has been
here at various theaters several'
times in past years, although he
likes radio work much better than
stage work.
Starting in December, Mr. Rapp
will play for many university dances:
Indiana, Ohio, State, and many
others. He will return to the airwaves in March.
Mr. Rapp introduced me to Ruby
Wright, one of his soloists, and
dedicated one of her songs to me.
Finally, after getting autographs,
and an invitation to return on
Thursday for a picture and introductions to the boys of the orches-
